Whisper is a Slippery tribe Yo-kai who became Nate’s self-appointed butler after he freed him from the capsule he was imprisoned in. He helps Nate understand the Yo-kai World and its interactions with the human world. Whisper claims to be very knowledgeable about the Yo-kai, but actually relies heavily on a tablet computer called the Yokai Pad (妖怪パッド, Yōkai Paddo) to look up information. He often dismisses Nate's suspicions that a Yo-kai is involved with mysterious occurrences in his life, only to be proven wrong almost instantly. Following an incident with the Yo-kai Watch Type Zero, Nate can switch between the different Yo-kai Watch models by putting his arm inside Whisper's mouth. In the anime, it is revealed he is secretly a Yo-kai named Nonuttin (Shittakaburi (シッタカブリ, from shittakaburi (知ったかぶり, "know-it-all")) in Japan), whose belches cause people to claim to know all about things when they actually have no idea.

He has since become a residual haunting and possesses people to make them cross the street without waiting for the signal so he can make another failed attempt to fight the cars to avenge his death. When Nate believes that Jibanyan is brave for his actions, Jibanyan is surprised and overwhelmed with joy, forming a friendship with Nate. He later ends up staying at Nate's house, where he often spends his time eating chocolate bars or worshipping his favorite idol group, Next Harmeowny. Jibanyan had initially assumed that Amy called him lame for dying, but after being sent back in time by the evil Yo-Kai duo Kin and Gin, he learns that she was actually referring to herself, as Rudy's death was really the result of saving Amy from getting hit by the truck as she crossed the intersection to meet with her friends. Jibanyan can transform into different Yo-kai under certain circumstances. While possessed by Roughraff, Jibanyan is turned into the bōsōzoku-inspired Baddinyan who thinks he is doing bad things, but is not that effective in scaring Nate. When he gets a cold, he becomes Thornyan (トゲニャン), turning green and growing cactus-like spikes that shoot out whenever he sneezes. In Yo-kai Watch 2, he can fuse with Whisper to create Buchinyan (ブチニャン).

In the anime, his "Mini Corner" segments have him still adapting to life in the city while doing other things like working in a toy company and falling in love with a manga artist.
